I DO NOT OWN SCANDAL OR ANY OF IT'S CHARACTERS.


"Get your head into the game Grant!"

Fitz didn't know what had gotten in to him today but he was not in the mood for practice or for this new coach to be all over his case on only the third week of season.

"Relax, we are still in preseason." He replied smartly.

"What was that Grant?" Rowan said blowing the whistle and stopping the game.

"I said relax, you act like we are in the middle of the season already."

"You know what. I will relax while you guys give me ten laps around the court since your star player can't keep his mouth closed." He says as he moves into the stands and takes a seat.

The rest of the team grunts and shoves Fitz as they take off running.

"Great going Fitz." Harrison says as they run.

They do their laps and Fitz and Rowan continue to go back and forth the whole practice usually ending in the rest of the team running.

"Who does this guy think he is!" Fitz yells as they enter the locker room.

"If you would have kept your mouth closed our legs wouldn't feel like noodles right now." Harrison said not impressed with Fitz attitude.

"This is my team and has been since freshman year. You think I'm going to let some new guy come in and change things?"

"You aren't going to win this battle Fitz." Huck says from across the room.

"Yeah, we will see about that." Fitz says slamming his locker closed to go shower.

Harrison shakes his head and continues to get undressed for his shower.

They leave the locker room together passing back through the gym when they see the coach talking to one of the students.

"Who is that?" Harrison says as they walk by.

"That's the coaches daughter. She just transferred here." Huck answers.

"Is that right." Fitz says stopping and walking over towards them.

"Hey where are you going?" Harrison asks as he grabs his arm.

"Going to say hi, wait here for me."

"Hey Coach maybe we can start off on a new foot tomorrow." He says smugly. "I don't believe we have met. I'm Fitz and you are?"

"Why don't you go back to study session sweetheart and we can finish this discussion at dinner." Rowan says stopping her hand from shaking Fitz'.

"Dad, don't be rude." She says looking at him and reaches to shake Fitz hand again.

"Now. Olivia." He says in a more stern voice.

She rolls her eyes and leaves the gym. Fitz can't help but stare. She was definitely a vision and her voice was like music to his ears.

Rowan turns back to Fitz. "What did you need Grant?"

"Nothing, nothing at all." He says smirking and walking back to his friends.

"What was that all about?" Harrison asks.

"Oh nothing. I think I've found a way to stick it to the Coach after all." He says as they head into the school.
